Regime’s Blind Drive To Secular Ghetto Devoid of Jewishness

.
Commentary:

This is a tough piece to write. But then, the headlines both during the weeks before Pesach and during Chol HaMoed are tough to come to grips with.

In rapid -fire succession; the “supreme court rulings” permitting hametz to be sold, as long as not in the public domain, i.e. in restaurants and granting citizenship to “Messianic Jews” as long as at least the father is Jewish. Then there is all of this talk about both “truces” or “ceasefires” with Hamas, the latest version being a six month halt, as translated; Hudna and about Olmert’s readiness to hand the Golan Heights over to Syria in exchange for the Syrian brand of Hudna. All the while, the Olmert, Livni, Barak troika continues carving up Jerusalem. There is this morning’s attack by PA terrorists on the Nitzane Shalom industrial complex near Tulkarm which killed 2 Israeli armed guards, thus showing the sheer lunacy of Israel’s notion of building industrial complexes to provide employment for it’s enemy. And finally, there is the latest “fly in the ointment” in efforts to secure Jonathan Pollard’s freedom;
the indictment in New York, some 23 years later, of a now 85 year old former US Army Engineer accused only decades later of spying for Israel between 1979 and 1985. read more

“Leader” for Headline Below; Classic MSM Journalistic Abuse

.
Commentary;

Here is a classic example of mainstream media misrepresentation of the facts.

German magazine: No date yet set for announcement, but expected soon; Gov’t official denies report, says talks on matter continue.

But if one reads the report below, nowhere is there a denial from any government source, unlike the “leader” which alleges denial. This author sticks with Jerusalem committeeman Nir Barkat’s assessment of Livni’s lack of a denial regarding Jerusalem talks with Abbas and project it on to the Der Spiegal report. In essence, as this author sees it, Jerusalem Post is warning Olmert that if he verifies the Der Spiegal report as correct by making such a declaration, that it will be the final nail in the political coffin.

Repeated Shas Threats to Leave Government: Disdainfully Laughable

.

Commentary;

Repeated threats to leave the coalition become redundant and laughable when it becomes obvious that the party making threats is not serious. Further, the threats become empty and disdainful and maybe Olmert has the right to show a smirking countenance when the threats are repeatedly posed but not acted upon.

With “Democracy” Like This, Who Needs Dictatorship?

.
Commentary;

Israel has evolved from elective government to government by, of and for the unelected elite — those who control the flow of money and those who inculcate into the fertive minds of the masses — in state-run schools, the universities and in print and electronic MSM.

This blog has repeated made use of the media expression — etrog, to etrogize, etrogization; the protexia, protection and protective cover or shield placed around a governing leader leader who pursues the agendas of these unelected elite. This protexia extends to every make or manner of corruption and wrong-doing. read more

.
by Moshe Burt

In our Parsha Tetzaveh, the laws regarding the annointment, the vestments and the Avodah (service) of the Kohanim are enunciated for the Jewish people.

While preparing this Parsha HaShavua, this author came across a puzzling quote in Torah Gems by Aharon Yaakov Greenberg on our Parsha.

The quote which is cited (pg 192) relating to perek 28, parsha 15; “And you will make the breastplate of judgement with the work of an artisan…” and is attributable to someone called “Akeidah” reads; read more
